Tale Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 4 was ugh Die in a fire or something. 4 is one of the only times I will ever refer to a game as "self-indulgent." It's one of those words that seems absolutely meaningless to apply to this kind of context, but there's literally nothing else to describe it. Metal Gear Solid 4 spent as much time in cutscenes as gameplay. If not more. And never gave you enough of any particular gameplay segment to appreciate it.

Labadal Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 The first chapter in MGS4 was great. It was also the part with the most gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calax Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Second chapter was longer overall. If there ever was a fan game, that'd be MGS4. I'm not about to say that it's good on it's own merits, but as a fan, it was pretty good to wrap things up as best as possible. Although the whole "Nanites = deus ex machina" thing was kinda stupid.

Hell Kitty Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 4 was ugh Die in a fire or something. 4 is one of the only times I will ever refer to a game as "self-indulgent." It's one of those words that seems absolutely meaningless to apply to this kind of context, but there's literally nothing else to describe it. Metal Gear Solid 4 spent as much time in cutscenes as gameplay. If not more. And never gave you enough of any particular gameplay segment to appreciate it. MGS4 was most certainly self-indulgent, with too many cutscenes desperately in need of an editor, but I still love it. The few hours of actual gameplay were fab. Anyway, now that Sony is remastering PSP titles for play on the PS3 maybe I'll finally get to play Peace Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I still need to finish Peace Walker. I finally get what I think are all the parts to my own Metal Gear and I spend all my time trying to figure out how to use it. I never did. Then I find out that they do hidden 'true ending' bull****.

greylord Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 microsoft seemed to believe that they could only support console gaming OR pc gaming, not both. they may still have this belief. sony was mistakenly under the belief that people loved giving sony money, and not playing games, they seem to have realized this error, but now are being hit with ten other problems to deal with. This cracks me up... While there is an enormous target on Sony's back as a result of these very public attacks it is unclear why this is happening. Is Sony taking security seriously or are there simply so many flaws from the past that exist in their public facing sites that it will take them a long time to patch them all? I hope this is the last time I have to report on a flaw at Sony. Sony has announced they are working with several professional organizations to get their security house in order and for their sake I hope this happens sooner rather than later. It's called they were so sold on DRM and in their arrogance once again, basically threw down a glove and challenged every hacker in the world against them with certain actions. At the time they may have felt the champions of anti-piracy. Now...I'm not certain how they feel about it. Probably still arrogant after handing everyone's personal information away they feel they can appease people by offering them a short period of ID checking if the customer fills out two hundred forms granting their life away...as well as the opportunity to have three worthless games that no one wanted anyways...for free. Of course if the hackers really wanted to send a message of the uselessness of DRM and how it only hurts paying customers, they'd hack all the authentication servers instead the world over...but then...without DRM to drive people to their sites to d/l their hacks for movies, games and whatever...the hackers may actually lose money from the advertisers and such...oh the fears...so I doubt they'd actually ever do that. Instead, they just hack Sony who was stupid enough to think they were so superior that they would make themselves a target for the hackers of the world to unite against and aggravise for a while. Believe it or not, I don't think it's because Sony was being so lax, I think with as much weighted pressure by hackers against them recently, it would have caused trouble to any company or group that was targeted by those they angered. Probably could have done the same to MS, or anyone else, but it was Sony's arrogance that brought it on. I just hope I never become the target of such. That would stink.
